The hole in the manifold what did you put in there? ,ant work ouy what the thread size is etc to do it.

I cut the pipe on the egr pipe to get the nut off and had the hole welded, screw straight into manifold, job done.

Yeah I can do that the threaded nut thats on the hard line is dead. The manifold thread thankfully is fine.

People talk about welding a penny over it or similar, I acquired a blanking kit from somewhere, which just bolted a plate over it.

I cant see how that works on a cast manifold and something made nostly of copper :s

IIRC the penny is welded to the inside of the nut from the EGR pipe and not to the stainless manifold itself.

 

Post a wanted thread up for an old EGR nut, im sure there are plenty around lol

I have an EGR delete kit fom Z1 for sale if your interested .....

Yep, that's what I meant ! ;)

Im sure Luke at Zcentre has delete kits for cheap. I just got some EGR plenum blanks off him and he asked if I needed a blanking nut as well

U can use penny's on them all lol.

Even under plenum. Just cut pipes off the little flange type things that bolt to bottom of plenum then put a coin on it with some instant gasket do the two 10mm blots back up.

 

I done this both sides on plenum, the one that goes in the manifold I broke the pipe flush with the bolt that goes in manifold so I could get a socket on it cause there often bloody tight.

Took bolt out dropped coin in the hole there's flange in there then put bolt back in and tighten it up.

I threw the egr out in disgust

I have a manifold bolt with pipe removed, already for blanking, with a good thread.

Could you pm me with the price please as steves subs have run out , cheers

i cut the pipe 3" long and got the cut end cherry red and folded it over twice then after getting red again like the dik on a dog i hammerd it flat on the vice

cheers for the replys guys but as ive said ive binned the whole egr thing solenoids hard lines the lot, so i need the corrected sized bung for the manifold, i was going to fabricate some nice blanking plates for the plenum. but if someone has a modestly priced egr delete kit thats better for me as it saves tinme does the job properly etc. however if needs be i can always get hold of an egr assembly and do what everyone else has done.

95 cars had a blank as standard,i have some plenum blanks made from alloy Steve if you want some ?

Go to a half decent plumbing shop, you can get a cast iron one with the right thread for pence mate, that's what I did, bang on. Think they are used for blanking the ends of some radiators.

Keep up mate, see post 10:biggrin:

I would use a carrot. There tapered so you can push it in to the diamiter required and snap it off. or leave it as is as a interesting feature. thats what Baz did :lol:
